It doesn't matter how your string inside the tr or qsTr looks, as long 
as it contains the %n. It is useful for both developers and translators 
if it looks roughly like the string you want out of it but that is not 
strictly needed. You could just make due with 
qsTr("MESSAGE_UPPER_CASE_CHARACTERS %n", n) or something like that 
though I personaly don't like this. It is up to the person filling the 
translation file with translations (including the one for English) to 
make sure that both versions of the definitive string are provided in 
the .ts file.
